“I create stuff that brings a smile to people's faces...and I think good art should make you smile.”

What would metalsmith Fred Conlon be if he weren't an artist? "I can't imagine doing anything else," he says. Raised in Colorado, Fred now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he makes witty garden sculptures out of reclaimed metal.

Awesome Christmas gift!

Perfect!

This a unique and fun gift for the man that has everything. Its made of lead so extremely sturdy. A great accompaniment to his 'F' Bomb from Uncommon Goods.

Very Nice Pairing with Bomb Paperweight

4

I paired this item with the Bomb paperweight (the F letter in front is flagged for online review, ha). It's cute, on the small side, but very unique for the working professional who can't express him/herself at work in the manner he/she wants!!

Husband bought me the 'bomb' for Christmas 2 years ago as a joke. It is still a conversation piece. This is the perfect accompaniment for the well educated, well spoken, and apt curser I am.
